Sowing the Seed<\/b><\/p>\n
An angel paused in his onward flight With a seed of love and truth and right, And said, \u201cOh, where can this seed be sown That it yield more fruit when fully grown?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo whom can this precious seed be given That it bear more fruit for earth and heaven?\u201d The Saviour heard and said as He smiled \u201cPlace it at once in the heart of a child.\u201d<\/p>\n
The angel whispered the blessed truth To a weary teacher of precious youth; Her face grew bright with heavenly light As she led their thought in the way of right.<\/p>\n

How Else are You Going to Learn<\/b><\/p>\n
A Father and his small son were out walking one day when the lad asked how electricity could go through the wires stretched between the telephone poles. \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d said his father. \u201cI never knew much about electricity.\u201d A few blocks farther on, the boy asked what caused lightning and thunder. \u201cThat too has puzzled me,\u201d came the reply. The youngster continued to inquire about many things, none of which the father could explain. Finally, as they were nearing home, the boy said, \u201cPop, I hope you didn\u2019t mind all those questions.\u201d \u201cNot at all,\u201d replied his father. \u201cHow else are you going to learn!\u201d<\/p>\n

Someday I Would Be Good Enough to Teach<\/b><\/p>\n
Years ago, after a celebrated international career on the stage, the world-famous violinist Jascha Heifetz became a professor of music at UCLA. When someone asked him why he had left the glamour of performing to become a teacher, Heifetz answered, \u201cViolin-playing is a perishable art. It must be passed on; otherwise it is lost.\u201d Then he went on to say, \u201cI remember my old violin professor in Russia. He said that (if I worked hard enough) someday I would be good enough to teach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Life Is a Mater of Building<\/b><\/p>\n
Life is a matter of building. Each of us has the opportunity to build something\u2014a secure family, a good reputation, a career, a relationship to God. But some of those things can disappear almost overnight due to financial losses, natural disasters and other unforeseen difficulties.<\/p>\n
What are we to do? Daniel Webster offered excellent advice, saying, \u201cIf we work on marble it will perish. If we work on brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work on men\u2019s immortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles, with just fear of God and love of their fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets something which time cannot efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity.<\/p>\n

What Kind of Teacher?<\/b><\/p>\n

Ideal Teacher<\/b><\/p>\n
An item in \u201cThe Report Card\u201d told of a study done in Colorado in which 3000 high school seniors were asked about their best teachers. From their responses this composite was drawn. The ideal teacher:<\/p>\n
1. is genuinely concerned and interested in students as individuals;<\/p>\n
2. requires students to work;<\/p>\n
3. is impartial in dealing with students; and<\/p>\n
4. is obviously enthusiastic about teaching.<\/p>\n
Today In The Word, Oct., 1989, p. 25<\/p>\n
Quote<\/b><\/p>\n
\u2022 Teaching is the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the minds of the ignorant by the means of the incompetent…is the transfer of material from the teacher\u2019s notes to the student\u2019s notebook, without it going through either\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n
How Adults and Youth Learn<\/b><\/p>\n
J. Dennis Miller, president of Church Youth Development states that a problem with educating young people in the church stems from a failure to understand how young people learn. He claims that adults learn in the following pattern:<\/p>\n
1. acceptance of absolutes;<\/p>\n
2. subordination of attitudes and actions to absolutes;<\/p>\n
3. application of truth received to life experience.<\/p>\n
Knowing something as an adult is based primarily upon remembering information and intellectual learning. Youth, Miller contends, learn in a different way:<\/p>\n
1. evaluation of life experience;<\/p>\n
2. discovery of attitudes and actions which validate their life experiences;<\/p>\n
3. identifying truth based on their relevance to life experience;<\/p>\n
4. acceptance of truths that prove reliable from life experience. Life experience is the main influence on the learning young mind.<\/p>\n
